2. Installation
Single Vecta+ Sensor Tap Single Vecta+ Sensor Spout
How to change the nozzle
Use the nozzle tool (Vecta+ Sensor Spout)
or a 22mm spanner (Vecta+ Sensor Tap) to
unscrew the 3.5 litre (blue) nozzle. Insert the 5
litre (orange) nozzle and tighten until flush with
tap body; no part should be protruding from
the end of the tap. Ensure the nozzle is not
over-tightened as this may pinch the “O” ring
and cause the tap to leak.
NOTES:
• Flush pipework prior to installation
• Ensure filter in Control Box is clean
• Do not install opposite a mirror
• Minimum 0.5 Bar dynamic pressure
• Install an accessible isolating valve and TMV
upstream of the tap
• IMPORTANT. Prior to marking and drilling fixing
holes for the Vecta+ Sensor Spout, installers must
Assemble ‘Fixing Flange’ (5) and ‘Fixing Cover’ (6)
to the spout to ensure the Spout is aligned when
secured to a wall.
The tap can be mounted on any horizontal surface
10-40mm thick. It requires a hole of 28-32mm
diameter.
A spout can be mounted on a secure vertical
surface. It requires a hole of 26-32mm diameter.

• Install an accessible isolating valve and TMV
upstream of the tap
• Ensure electrical connections correlate to
their matching colours. i.e. black to black or red
to red
• Ensure pre-fitted filter is retained within
flexible hose - the tap’s perfromance will be
reduced without the filter

3. Power connections
Vecta+ Sensor Tap and
Vecta+ Sensor Spout
If using the battery case, remove battery lid and
battery compartment from the control box. Fit 4
Alkaline AA (LR-6) batteries as indicated. Replace
the battery compartment in the control box and
replace the lid.
If using the mains power, connect the power
transformer to the control box. Secure the power
transformer in a dry location using screws or sticky
pad provided and connect the un-terminated mains
cable to a 230V AC supply via a fused spur.
Both batteries and mains power can be connected
at the same time to provide battery backup in the
event of loss of power.
Vecta+ Sensor Mixer Tap
If using the battery case, remove battery
compartment lid and fit 4 Alkaline AA (LR-6)
batteries as indicated and replace the lid. Mount
the battery case in the bracket and secure with the
screws or sticky pad provided.
If using the mains power, secure the power
transformer in a dry location using screws or sticky
pad provided and connect the un-terminated mains
cable to a 230V supply via a fused spur.
Use the Power Junction Cable to connect the
power source to the tap. Ensure the colours match
red to red and black to black. Both batteries and
mains power can be connected at the same time to
provide battery backup in the event of loss of power.
CAUTION:
Risk of electric shock. Isolate supply before
working on wiring.

Urinal flushing
Hydraulic Control Valve
An automatic urinal flush
control valve which reduces
water consumption. The valve
uses a simple patented
mechanism which prevents
water waste by ensuring that
the auto-flush cistern is only
filled, and can only flush, when
the washroom is used.
Infrared Control
(IRC™) Valve
This valve automatically
manages the water supply to
the urinal cistern and reduces
water consumption by up to
80%. The PIR sensor detects
movement and activates the
solenoid valve, allowing water
into a urinal cistern.
Direct Flush Valve
An infrared sensor controlled
urinal valve. It automatically
flushes individual urinals after
use, ensuring the highest level
of hygiene from the minimum
volume of water.
WC flushing
Easyflush Wave
An infrared, hands-free and water-conserving
WC cistern flush valve suitable for concealed or
exposed cisterns. Easy to install in retrofits or
new installations, its no-touch dual flush WC
cistern valve promotes water economy and
hygiene in domestic and commercial
washrooms.
Easyflush Direct
An infrared electronic flushing system that
removes the need for a WC cistern by taking its
water feed straight from the mains supply. Ideal
for high traffic areas as the system allows for a
second flush without a delay.

Washroom control systems
Sensazone
An innovative system to conserve water
and energy. Occupancy is monitored by
sensors; when someone enters the washroom
all services controlled by Sensazone are
activated – the hot and cold water, lighting
and extractor fans.
LinkThru
LinkThru TMU delivers remote real-time
monitoring of water temperatures on a 24/7
basis. LinkThru TMU harnesses the power of
the Internet of Things to monitor water
temperatures and helps to ensure Building
Owner compliance with HSG274, reducing the
risk of Legionella.
Infrared Taps
Novatap
A contemporary deck-mounted chrome tap.
The infrared control reduces water and energy
usage and eliminates the risk that the tap may
be left running.
Vectatap
An elegantly designed infrared tap with
the benefit of hygienic hands-free operation.
Vectatap improves water and energy efficiency
and includes auto-shut off and hygiene flush
features.
